SnapRaise
Snapraise is our annual team fundraiser that helps us fund a majority of what we need to sustain our cross-country program! Last year's efforts helped us buy:
- New Sweats (top and bottom, high quality materials)
- Team Backpacks
- Consultation with biomechanics expert
- Free team nutrition seminar
SnapRaise is a relatively easy fundraiser to conduct; all you need to do is input 20 emails into the SnapRaise system. Even if you don't have 20 close contacts to give, you can still hit the quota by finding emails for local businesses. Every year we get some great donations from cold emails from Castle Rock businesses!
924-649-069 is our team's login code for athletes who have yet to sign into their account.
Participation in SnapRaise is mandatory and students must have all 20 emails submitted by Wednesday August 31st or they will be ineligible to compete. Please reach out to coach Marshall for any questions on this.
Labor Day Weekend Schedule
Our schedule for labor day weekend will be:
Fri 9/2: Arapahoe Warrior Invite
Sat 9/3: OFF NO Practice
Mon 9/5: Practice at 3:30 @ CV
If you are unable to attend either Friday's meet or Monday's practice due to pre-arranged Labor Day travel, please let a coach know ASAP so accommodations can be made.
Parent Help
Every year our parents organize some awesome things for our kids, such as team dinners, chocolate milk Wednesdays, and snacks for meets. If you'd like to volunteer to help with one of those, please sign-up with the links below:

Course Map
Parking
There is ample parking at Denver South HS (less than half a mile walk from the race start). There is available street parking in the neighborhood around the park but make sure you pay attention to any parking permit required zones.
Team Gear
Through the hard work put into our fundraising the last couple of years we are able to purchase new gear for the team. Each athlete will be issued a Lon-Sleeve Shirt, Warm-up Pants, and Backpack that will turn in at the end of the season. However, we want to offer those interested the opportunity to purchase the set to keep. All three items would be $100. Cash or check accepted (checks need to be made out to Castle View Cross Country). We will explain more at practice.
Use the following link to see the three items: https://www.bsnsports.com/vault?TpodCreator=25585-0-mhvy
(The pants will be Black, the Lon-Sleeve Shirt is University Red, and the Backpack is Black)
